some plant extracts showed the ability to retard the diffusion of glucose across the dialysis tube. the present study was designed to investigate the effect of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of teucrium polium (t. polium) on glucose movement across the dialysis tube. the t. polium powder was dissolved in ethanol and distilled water. then glucose was added to make a final concentration of 0.2 – ...

Objective: Teucrium polium L. (family Lamiaceae) is a wild-growing flowering plant, found abundantly in South-Western Asia, Europe and North Africa. Traditionally, T. polium has been used for different pathological conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, inflammations, diabetes and rheumatism. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of ethanol extract of Teucri...

In the present study, protective effect of Teucrium polium L. (Labiatae) extract on acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity was investigated in mice. Animals were divided into six groups, each group consist of 8 mice. Group one as the negative control group received normal saline, while group two received only crude extract of T. polium L. (500 mg/Kg) for five days and group three as the positive ...

Possessing putative hypolipidemic effects, Teucrium polium (TP) have been traditionally used as a medicinal plant in Iran. The aim of the present study was to investigate this effect on the sucrose-induced insulin resistance male rat model. Thirty Wistar male rats weighting 180 ± 20 g were divided into five groups of six each. Four groups were given sucrose 50% in drinking water for 10 weeks. I...

Introduction: There are about 120 million people around the world who suffer from allergies. This is a huge number and all these individuals currently use anti-allergic drugs that are associated with numerous side effects. In order to find an appropriate complementary drug from traditional folk medicine, Teucrium polium was examined. Prednisolone was used as a control anti-allergic drug. Me...

the side effects of three pesticides, hexaflumuron, pymetrozin and spirodiclofen and four plant extractions including, calotropis procera (willd.) r. br. (asclepiadaceae), teucrium polium (labiatae), fumaria parviflora lam. (fumariaceae) and thymus vulgaris l. (labiatae) were evaluated on survival rate and reproductive parameters of chrysoperla carnea (stephens) at 26±1oc, 60±5% rh and 16:8 (l:...

In this study, the effect of water and alcoholic (ethanol) extracts Caper Bush Capparis spinosa L., Cumine Cuminum cyminum L. , Black pepper Piper nigrum Sage Salvia sp. Cat thyme Teucrium polium plants on 4th instar larvae Culex quinquefasciatus have been evaluated .The results showed that extract P. had highest larvae, with 48h LC50 155. 9 ppm followed by ethanol C. 308.2 ,315.1and 791.4 resp...

Teucrium polium (Labiatae) is a plant that widely grows in Iran. Some of species of Teucrium are used for a considerable range of actions in traditional medicine and T. polium has frequently been used as anticonvulsant. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of T. polium ethanolic aqueous extracts and related fractions on seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and maximal e...

Introduction Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been shown to play a critical role in many diseases such as diabetes mellitus, cancer, Alzheimer, arteriosclerosis and other conditions. Chronic glucose levels in blood or cells of diabetic patients are known to cause oxidative damages, followed by an increasing in ROS production and/or dysfunction of antioxidant defense system (enzyme or non-enzy...
